Recently joined

Hi. I recently joined and wanted to introduce myself. I am 68 and retired in May. All my plans for retirement are currently on hold due to the lockdown. Hopefully, it will be over soon.


I love travelling and I am lucky that I have been able to travel a lot. I have found it quite hard retiring at this time as I miss the camaraderie of work colleagues. I love walking and being in nature. I also love reading and films and chatting.


I look forward to making new friends here.

Hiya. Read your post and just wanted to say hello. I've been retired a while now and I guess I'm used to not having to get up in the morning. Funnily, I tend to get up earlier now than I did when I was working. I think the Corona virus has been a shock to everyone in different ways. This was the year I was going to make the most of my freedom and begin exploring but all that has been put on hold for now. It's difficult to meet people when you don't go out much so I'm hoping I can meet people here.

Hi Merrill, I am also new and also hoping to make new friends here,I am very recently widowed so a new era for me and hopefully a new way of life - in time - without my beloved husband, loving nature and able although being in London have a garden which is very birds and bees friendly, there are the morning squirrals,lovel birds,butterfly's and many wood pigeons,in the evening urban foxes..which our(now mine) young border collie loves to chase with a waggy tail..I swear he smiles when doing this....I am very near a conservation area so many visitors from the animal world!
Have a great day

Hi Midnight caller, You have a garden like mine I film from 4 inferred cameras all night and speed up playback in the morning to see what came, I leave out food to attract the wildlife and last night I had 7 badgers, ( 3 adults, 2 teenagers 2 cubs ) 1 fox, 1 hedgehog and 5 domestic cats, nice to read you like animals / wildlife.

Upper.

Thanks Upper,it's a bit of sanity in these uncertain times,I would love to see some Owls' or Bats,inferred cameras - great idea.....yes I also forgot to add that cats come to visit as well. I found my husbands binoculars (he used to use them when going fishing) so maybe can see more before it gets dark.
Take care
